It’s not a web app. It’s an app your install from the web.

We’ve had conversations like this dozens of times since launching Forecast. They usually comes from people who have an iPhone but aren’t particularly tech savvy, and I’m fairly certain none of them will ever know that Forecast is actually a web app. To them, it’s just an app you install from the web.

And they’re right: if it looks and feels like an app, and lives on your home screen, it’s an App. With a capital “A.”

I feel this is the future of the “app” as it should be IMHO.
